justin2020 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Here are a hand full of my custom jobs that I have started and ended back up in the box. So I thought maybe I could post them and get some help from all of you on were to go next. Let me know what you think and if you have any ideas for these builds.

justin2020 Posted May 15, 2010 Author Share Posted May 15, 2010 It is a Monte front and rear clip with a 55 Nomad sides and windshield frame. I did not add the roof to it. The sound system is from the Fast and Furious kit. Thank you for the comment. It has been my longest stalled project (3 years) I call it a Lomad.

Rick R Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Good stuff! Rare to see agressive custom work on late model subjects... Only one thing... Look at the different shapes you're using, like the rectangular grille and the curve of the fenders on the Ford peekop... the grille on the real build would be done from metal stock machined to shape, so the squared corners wouldn't be used and there wouldn't be such a shape conflict. I could also see wider lights at the rear or a smaller center stoplight. Check out the current restyle-oriented magazines for ideas. Stuff looks really good for a start though!
